Wondering when is the right time to say goodbye to a pet? These helpful resources from our friends at Lap of Love can provide insight.

If you have a financial hardship, we have generous funds to help reduce euthanasia and group cremation costs. Unfortunately, we are not able to cover the costs of private cremations.
A gentle and pain-free procedure.
Ashes are returned to you in a cedar lockbox with a certificate of cremation.
Your pet will be group-cremated with other pets, and ashes are not returned.
An imprint will be made of your pet’s paw as a cherished remembrance.
A gift in memory of a pet honors the unique bond between human and animal. These special gifts commemorate our pets long after they are gone. When a memorial gift is made, you are not only honoring the love you have for your pet, but you are also supporting animals in need at Santa Barbara Humane, ensuring all animals receive the love, care, and compassion they deserve.
With a donation of $150, you can memorialize your pet with a customized garden stone. This engraved stone may be added to your own garden, or placed among the beautiful grounds of the Santa Barbara Campus, providing you with a place to visit and remember your beloved pet.
Select your favorite photo of your pet and see it placed front and center in the lobby of the Santa Maria Campus. You can see it and remember your pet, and share their image and memory with every visitor to the Santa Maria Campus. With a donation of $250, you can memorialize your pet with this memorial photo tile.
To permanently memorialize your pets all in one location, consider a niche in the Santa Barbara Campus columbarium. Once cremated, your pet is lovingly placed within a niche and a customized plaque displays their name. With a donation of $400 for smaller pets and $650 for larger pets, this personalized space in the columbarium will help cherish and secure your pet’s memory for years to come.
